Trump announces that he'll run

[Bradskii]

In a very flat speech, he say's he'll run again. This is going to be so very interesting...

Republicans will be forced to decide who they are.

 

[WolfGate]

A great example of not reading the room…

 

[Yttrium]

Come on, Republicans. Get your act together. Don't make me vote for Biden again.

 

[Desk trauma]

Sigh.

 

[Brihaha]

It certainly wasn't inspiring. I don't think he paid those 10-20 clappers enough cash. Sounded like Russian propaganda. America so bad bla bla bla. Revenge is a dish best served constantly for Trump.

 

[Fantine]

The good news is that the press is saying it "won't end Trump's legal woes."

I had heard that he was running in order to escape indictment, but apparently he will be treated as a private citizen if one or more of the several investigations go in that direction.

Two years to the election? Less to the primary. Still too much time for the DOJ and the States DAs to finished their cases. I don't think he can delay for that long.

 

[Goonie]

I wonder whether he'll make it to the primary vote, ir oull out because he fears the humiliation of losing. Thinking about hiw Boris Johnson pulled out st the last minute on running for PM again.

There’s a ton of money to be had in running, if you lend your campaign funds at usurious rates and hold events at your own venues. Plus he may think this will stave off the coming prosecutions.

This is fantastic news! Hopefully he’ll have to run as an independent and peel off 30% of the conservative vote!

Let’s go Trump!

Or he just want’s to spite the GOP who are deserting him.

That too.

No surprise, really. I have said elsewhere that the Trump momentum has stalled. The Murdoch press is now firmly against him; the Trumpty Dumpty cartoon was in the New York Post.

Fox News cut away from last night's announcement; I think that is a first.

The Mid-term elections have not gone well; the 'red wave' turned into a cry for help for the Republican candidates. The only surge in votes for the Trumpian Right was for DeSantis - who has distanced himself from the man, if not the policies.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to list the true things?

 

[Fantine]

We made a serious miscalculation when we underestimated him in 2016 so we need to take his statements seriously. On the other hand I don't know whether he's running for president or away from the strong arm of the law.

I don't know if Biden has another run in him.
You might be forced to vote for Harris.

Here is hoping for a BRUTAL anti-Trump Primary with other front runners emerging quickly.
I have NEVER voted TRUMP in a Primary and I will not vote TRUMP in a General Election again ... time to move on (from the party if necessary).

 

[High Fidelity]

I’m sure there are plenty of voters on here.
Sad to see multiple formerly faithful Christians torn apart by their new commitment to partisan politics instead of God.
